Flammable limits in air % by volume: Lower (Unknown) Upper(Unknown)
Extinguishing media: 鈥淎lcohol resistant鈥? foam, CO2 or dry chemical.
Special fire fighting procedures:
NOTE: Individuals should perform only those fire-fighting procedures for which they
have been trained.
Remove all sources of ignition. Move exposed containers from fire area if it can be done
without risk. Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode. Spray extinguishing media
directly into base of flames. Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Unusual fire and explosion hazard: When heated, mixture will give off carbon monoxide and
unidentified organic compounds. Closed containers exposed to heat may develop pressure and
explode.
-------------------------V. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION -------------------------
Primary routes of exposure: Inhalation, eye contact, skin contact, ingestion.
Signs and symptoms of overexposure:
Inhalation: May cause mild irritation to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract and may
result in depression of the central nervous system.
Eye contact: Moderately irritating to the eyes.
Skin contact: Mildly irritating to the skin.
Ingestion: Irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. May cause abdominal pain and
vomiting (sometimes bloody). Ingestion may cause central nervous system depression, low blood
pressure, rapid heart beat and liver damage.
Early to moderate central nervous system depression may be evidenced by giddiness,
headache, dizziness and nausea. In extreme cases, unconsciousness, respiratory depression and
death may occur. Liver damage may be evidenced by loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowish skin
color) and sometimes pain in the upper abdomen on the right side.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Individuals with pre-existing skin disorders,
eye problems, or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of
overexposure.

CHEMTREC 24 Hour Emergency Phone: (800) 424-9300 Note: The CHEMTREC emergency
number is to be used only in the event of chemical emergencies involving a spill, leak, fire, exposure, or accident
involving chemicals. All non-emergency questions should be directed to JAC at (908) 362-9266.
----------------VI. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES ----------------
For Inhalation: Remove subject immediately to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if
victim is not breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.
For Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes. Eyelids should be held apart and away from eyeball for thorough rinsing. Do not permit
victim to rub eyes. Get immediate medical attention.
For Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Obtain medical attention if irritation
persists after washing. Wash clothing before re-use.
For Ingestion: Contact a Poison Control Center immediately. Give no more than 2
glasses of water and induce vomiting by giving 30 cc (2 tablespoons) of syrup of ipecac. If
victim is a child, give no more than 1 glass of water and 15cc (1 tablespoon) syrup of ipecac. If
syrup of ipecac is unavailable, give 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching finger to
back of victim鈥檚 throat. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Get immediate medical attention.
-------------------------------------VII. TOXICITY DATA ---------------------------------------
None of the components present in this formulation are currently classified as
carcinogens in the NTP Annual Report on Carcinogens, IARC Monographs or by OSHA.
------------------------------VIII. PERSONAL PROTECTION ------------------------------
Storage Requirements: Protect containers from physical damage. Detached or outside
storage is preferred. Inside storage should be in an NFPA approved flammable liquids storage
room or cabinet. Store at temperatures below 77 degrees F (25oC). Do not store in direct
sunlight. Isolate from incompatible materials. Keep containers tightly closed.
Handling Requirements: All ignition sources should be eliminated. Remove closure
carefully; internal pressure may be present. Keep closure up to prevent leakage. When contents
are being transferred, metallic containers must be bonded to the receiving container and
grounded to avoid static discharges. Never use pressure to empty containers. Replace closure
carefully after each opening.
Ventilation: Not required for product (JAC unit dose swab) use. When handling bulk
material, use general or local exhaust ventilation to meet TLV requirements. Where engineering
controls are not feasible or sufficient to achieve full conformance with acceptable exposure
limits, use a NIOSH approved respirator designed for organic vapors.

number is to be used only in the event of chemical emergencies involving a spill, leak, fire, exposure, or accident
involving chemicals. All non-emergency questions should be directed to JAC at (908) 362-9266.
Eye Protection: Not required for product (JAC unit dose swab) use. When handling bulk
material, always wear gas-tight, splash-proof chemical safety goggles meeting OSHA 29CFR
1910.133 specifications.
Skin Protection: Not required for product (JAC unit dose swab) use. When handling
bulk material, use nitrile, neoprene or natural rubber gloves for most effective skin protection.
-------------------------------IX. HAZARDOUS REACTIVITY -------------------------------
Stable at room temperature. Hazardous polymerization will not occur. However, carbon
monoxide gas and unidentified organic compounds may be formed during combustion.
Conditions To Avoid: Sunlight, heat (heating above ambient temperatures causes the
vapor pressure of the material to increase). Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.
Do not store or handle in aluminum equipment at temperatures above 120 degrees F.
-----------------X SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES ------------------
For large spills, stop leak if you can do so without risk. Extinguish all sources of ignition.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical safety goggles and full protective clothing.
Ventilate area. Spilled liquids should be contained and not washed into sewers or ground water.
Contain by diking with non-combustible absorbent materials and place residue in DOT approved
waste container.
Comply with all applicable local, state and federal regulations on spill reporting, handling
and disposal of waste.
Other Precautions: Containers, even those that have been emptied, will retain product
residue and vapors. Handle empty containers as if they were full.
